Episode 321 – Kinda Rocks

Posted on June 14, 2013

This Week: Kevin can’t even bring himself to do a victory dance this week because his and Kristin’s predictions were so terribly off-base for the box office. However, things look up after they rattle through some fun movie news and then head into a slate of movies to review: Man of Steel, This Is the End, The East and the much-anticipated, sure-to-be-blockbuster Hatchet III. Soon, Kevin and Kristin move on to answer a listener voice mail before giving their DVD and Blu-ray predictions for the week.

Episode 307 – Crusty Drawers

Posted on March 8, 2013

This Week: Kevin and Kristin rattle through a whole bunch of movie news, including confirmed actors in the new Star Wars movie, the potential involvement of Christopher Nolan in The Justice League and James Bond, plus a listener question about The Guardians of the Galaxy. This leaves scant time for movie reviews, which is a good thing since neither had a chance to see Dead Man Down or Emperor. Though they do have a chance to thoroughly discuss Oz the Great and Powerful and how guys still try to get laid in magical lands. Finally, they tear through some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before riding off into the sunset.

10 Actors Who Should Have Won the Oscar But Didn’t

Posted on January 24, 2013



BY KEVIN CARR

Art is subjective, as is the appreciation for it and the accolades thrust upon it. This is no more evident that during award season each year, in which every film critic, entertainment journalism outfit and average moviegoer throws in their two cents as to what were the best and worst of the previous year.

The Academy Awards are famous for the nomination snubs (such as this year’s snubbing of Ben Affleck and Kathyrn Bigelow for Best Director), but less remembered are the performances that should have won but didn’t. Reasons for this range from the age of the average Academy voter to the sheer politics of the industry.

From the more-than eight decades of the Oscars, here is a look at some people who should have won Best Actor but did not.

Episode 209 – Shags Versus Mullets

Posted on April 7, 2011

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin invites Elisabeth “Rattlesnake” Rappe from Chud.com and Film.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about alcoholics in movies, ass-kicking kids and faaaaaabulous hair-dos in fantasy films. The show is promptly derailed only a few minutes in when Elisabeth reminds Kevin about his bottled-up feelings for 80s-era Grace Jones, and Elisabeth opens up about certain films on late-night Cinemax later in the show. They also find time to talk about Arthur, Hanna, Your Highness and Soul Surfer as well as David Bowie’s alarming codpiece from Labyrinth. It’s a crazy time this week on Fat Guys!
